Chapter 48): What’s Wrong with being a Pervert?
Her eyes burnt intensely, but she couldnt take her gaze away from the tattoo.
The tattoo seemed to call to her, forcing her to tremble. A scream echoed in her eyes as if a thousand people were screaming right next to her.
Immediately after, she saw a burning passenger bus falling into a valley, and she was filled with an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
The car accident she thought.
Under the moonlight, the mountain peaks were like dark, silent giants. Through the pale fog, one could see a distorted, huge figure that stood proudly on its peak.
The nightmarish figure was twisted and horrifying, yet beautiful and entrancing at the same time.
Horrid screams of terror emanated from its huge body, converging into a cry in an unknown language.
And despite the unknown language, Yibei could understand it for a split second: Darkness is in the sky; tomorrow is falling!
As soon as the words fell, they slipped out of her brain like a leak.
The icy, cold rain slapped against her face, and Yibei woke up in a daze, laying on the road, soaked in the autumn rain. It seemed like the masked man didnt hurt her, but he was gone.
She tried hard to recall that strange dream, but all she remembered was the car accident and the incomprehensible cry.
She gulped. Perhaps the car accident two years ago was no mere accident.
Could it be related to those people with tattoos?
But why cant I remember anything?
All she could remember was the car losing control and falling off the cliff. She tried hard to recall, but her thoughts seemed muddled and damaged; it was becoming unreal, and her head hurt, and the colours became unreal, and
In a state of confusion, she found herself at the door of her apartment.
The next day
Yibei endured the headache as if he had a bad cold and the hunger as if he hadnt eaten for a few days. She crept up to the rooftop, bathed in the morning sun, and recovered.
Fortunately, he returned to his original state. He was a little worried that he wouldnt transform back into one piece because of his hungry state.
He washed up and changed into a set of clean clothes.
Nodding at his own reflection, he placed the statue of Acala, the Immovable, into the guitar bag and bid his neighbours farewell. He took the various certificates issued by his boss at the Night Division and went straight to the Huacheng University of Technology.
The University held classes between 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. to avoid the night.
When his classes ended, the corridor was crowded with people trying to get to the cafeteria or their dormitories.
Standing amid the bustling crowd, his eyes burnt, and a babys cry came faintly from his ears, and his attention was immediately attracted by the prospect of prey.
The temptation of food made Yibei forget about the car accident and Jiangli.
Following the faint smell of blood, he saw a girl with long hair and a shawl. A baby who had not fully formed rode on her neck, which was particularly conspicuous among the dense crowd.
As if aware of Yibeis scorching gaze, the baby stopped crying, turned its head 180 degrees, and glared at her.
An immature baby with unformed, purple skin due to the lack of oxygen
Its facial features were distorted and ugly; its eyeballs protruded outward and seemed permanently shut, but Yibei could feel its glare on him.
This girl is being haunted by this thing! Should I tell Jiangli?
However, if he doesnt report it to her, doesnt this mean that this baby would be his food?
He decided to follow the girl.
The girl shuffled quickly through the crowd as if driven by some force.
Yibei followed closely behind her until he came to the lobby of the girls dormitory. A powerful, big hand pushed him back.
Stop right there! Did you not read the sign?
A grey-haired, muscular old man pushed Yibei back and pointed at a sign that said [NO BOYS!] in a large font.
Ah I want to look for a friend, Yibei replied.
Thats what they all say. Be real with me; you just want to have sex with them, dont you?
He was kicked out of the girls dormitory, and he was reluctant to part with such delicious food.
Fine. Dont let me in. Ill come back after dark.
Wait, doesnt this seem incredibly perverted?
Theres nothing wrong with being slightly perverted.
